Tiny Temperature Probes

Members of the LSMC Micro Series of temperature probes are designed to meet the ultra-small space constraints of a variety of applications, including those of medical instruments. The LSMC 400 Series, for example, is just 0.0185 in. across, small enough to fit inside a thin hypodermic needle.

The probes are designed to provide fast response and accuracy to ۪.1(C. Probe lengths range from 0.156 to 30 in. Other features include an epoxy-filled polyimide tube and heavy isomid insulation. Interchangeable or point-matched tolerances are available in values of ۪.1(C to ۫(C and ۫ to 䔮 percent.

Dissipation constants are 0.3 mW/(C in still air and 2.5 mW/(C in stirred oil. The probes come in a variety of lead materials and termination lengths as well as with an optional Parylene coating that resists corrosion and humidity. Prices range from 45 cents to $1.55 each with delivery in four to five weeks.
